<dirset>
    [This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]
     A specialized <fileset> used for specifying a set of directories. 
 Hint for supporting tasks that the included directories instead of files should be used. Parameters
| Attribute | Type | Description | Required | 
|---|
| basedir | directory | The base of the directory of this fileset. The default is the project base directory. | False | 
| casesensitive | bool | Indicates whether include and exclude patterns must be treated in a case-sensitive way. The default is true on Unix; otherwise, false. | False | 
| defaultexcludes | bool | Indicates whether default excludes should be used or not. The default is true. | False | 
| failonempty | bool | When set to true, causes the fileset element to throw a ValidationException when no files match the includes and excludes criteria. The default is false. | False | 
| id | string | The ID used to be referenced later. | False | 
| refid | string | The ID to use as the reference. | False | 
Nested Elements:
                    <includes>
                
Deprecated.  The items to include in the fileset.
